10 Brotherly Duos That Prove Family Businesses Are a Great Idea

Brothers make great business partners. They can understand each other without saying a word, they know when to push each other (and when not to), and at the end of the day, they have to make nice because they're, you know, family. Here are 10 pairs of style-conscious brothers who make the case for family businesses in the fashion industry.

Sam and Liam Fayed of Bespoken

Liam and Sam Fayed have tailoring in their blood—they're the heirs to Turnbull & Asser. But who needs an inheritance like that when you're already creating tailored gear for the most modern of gentlemen?

Joe and Nick Jonas

These two know a thing about brotherly love. They've been doing the bro and business thing since they were kids. These days, though they're doing their own thing, they're still hanging out (brothers!). They can be spotted court-side at runway shows from New York to Paris, looking like bosses. It's always more fun to have a bro in the seat next to you.

She and Raan Parton of Apolis

The Parton brothers are the double-brain trust behind Apolis, the ethical, functional, stylish, and globally-conscious lifestyle brand based in L.A.. Two brothers tryin' to make a difference, nothing better.

Doug and Ben Burkman of Burkman Bros.

In case you haven't guessed, the designers of Burkman Bros. are in fact brothers. The DNA-sharing pair are responsible for bringing you classic American sportswear (even though they're Canadian) with a little bit of humor to your closet. They have a strict policy: If they won't wear it, they won't make it. Can't argue with that.

Shimon and Ariel Ovadia of Ovadia & Sons

Shimon and Ariel Ovadia are hard to tell apart, but that's a whole other story. When they're together, they're a powerhouse that creates some of GQ's favorite menswear in the game. Think of classic tailoring, sportswear, and accessories worked over with an eye for luxury and taste. What could possibly go wrong?

Kevin and Jonathan Sampaio

The Sampaio brothers (pictured in matching jeans at Givenchy Spring-Summer 2016) make it official: There are at least two guys more handsome than you in the world. We're sure you're number three, though!

Sandy and Emil Corsillo of The Hill-Side

When Emil Corsillo discovered his fondness for Japanese style and design, he partnered up with his brother and the pair started The Hill-Side as an accessories line. Now, after years of success, some brotherly love, and a shit-ton of work, they've grown their business into a complete lifestyle brand. And on top of that, they're in the 2015 class of Best New Menswear Designers in America. Bro-down.

DSquared2, which has been lighting up runways for years, is helmed by brothers Dean and Dan Caten. Their longstanding success is adequate proof that fraternal partnership is the best partnership.

Here's Matthew and Alex Orley at their Spring-Summer 2015 presentation, along with Sam Orley (Matthew's Wife, Alex's sister-in-law, business partner of both) and CFDA CEO Steven Kolb. The pair keep bringing us next-generation preppy gear that we can't stop buying. For that, we thank them.
